I can do it myself.

I don't like the medicine.

You need to listen to me.

Help us build a Flight Center for the Rehabilitation of Raptors, Golden Eagles, Bald Eagles and other large birds. Alaska WildBird Rehab Center's primary goal this year is to build a flight center for bald eagles, golden eagles and other large raptors. A flight center promotes the birds' health and stamina as part of their condition for release. You can become a sponsor of the flight center,

Falconry Update

The Fish and Wildlife Service finalized changes to the Federal regulations governing falconry. This final rule can be found at www.fws.gov/migratorybirds.
NWRA has posted a fact sheet that answers many questions concerning this change in the falconry permitting process (including when and how it will become effective) that you may find useful. However, until a state also certifies it is in compliance with these new regulations, the current falconry permitting process remains in effect.
